Could have sworn I started this a while back....oh well.. Seems I was getting tired of getting poked with chisels, while reaching for a plane.... And this rack was a bit too long.. To be swinging on just that single hinge...time for something different to be made.... So...this will get a make over....went out and bought a few thin planks of KIWI Pine... Clamped this flat for a few days...KIWI Pine? Next item...was to work on that old rack a bit... Set this aside for a day....and figure out where to make a few cuts... Had too many slots, anyway...only needed 11....Mitersaw next.. Racks were a bit too thick...resaw one side a bit, trying to avoid all them screws.. Once these were removed, I could remove the counter bored strip, and a matching strip from the other edge.. The face I did not resaw, needed leveled a bit Test fitted a few of the larger Mortise Chisels.. Square is showing where I needed to trim this rack for length, as there was one too many slots...the narrow chisels? Seem to be flopping around in the slots....we have ways.. 1/2" forstner bit...just enough for the chisel's bolsters to fit in. with come back later with a countersink bit, to accommodate the socket chisels... Problem...as this will be attached to the back of a case, and NOT swing out, needed a way to reach into the case and pull a chisel straight out, which is why those slots were opened up But, how to keep the chisels in place? A Hinged "keeper" should do the trick... so.. Racks are almost done...Need to build a box/case to hold them. Stay tuned...

By hand, and as careful as I was, edges did get knicked, but once the back slats are in place the knicked edges just kind of disappeared. The mortise bottoms are rough, but nobody see's the bottom of mortises.
